JULY WEDDINGS AT TLAQUEPAQUE

Wendy Lippman • Jun 03, 2017

Although July is monsoon season here in Sedona, Tlaquepaque celebrated three weddings during the last weekend of July.

Audra Mennie and Bryce Carter spoke their vows on the intimate Patio de las Campanas on Saturday, July 25th. Schelli Rothi with Taltos Productions performed the wedding ceremony in front of Audra’s and Bryce’s family and friends. There were lovely floral arrangements at the front of the ceremony provided by Mountain High Flowers. Michael David with Taltos Productions captured the moments with his creative photographs and Mario Libunao played music during the ceremony.

One highlight of the wedding was Gordo, the couple’s cute dog. He walked down the aisle along with the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Following the wedding ceremony, guests proceeded to the Calle Independencia for the wedding reception catered by Main Street Catering. The three tier cake was created by Donna Joy, Sedona Sweet Arts.

Mario Libunao played a large variety of music for Audra and Bryce and their guests. Everyone had a great time and greatly enjoyed the reception.

Debra White and Marc Fraley got married in the Tlaquepaque Chapel on Saturday night, July 25th. The intimate wedding was photographed by Greg Reiter. Debra wore a lovely extravagant wedding gown with an amazing train.

On Sunday, July 26th, we were excited to host the wedding ceremony of Abigail Shimko and Travis Fowler. Bonnie, Abigail’s mother, helped plan the intimate wedding ceremony in the Tlaquepaque Chapel. Their professional photographer was Ron and Jenni Goldman of Jenni Goldman Photography , a Tlaquepaque favorite.

The very personal ceremony was performed by their brother-in-law Rev. Reggie Rice and music was performed by Carla and David. Family and friends help decorate the Tlaquepaque Chapel and Abigail and Travis lit a lovely unity candle during the ceremony.

Following the wedding ceremony, guests accompanied Abigail and Travis to the Fireside room at Heartline Cafe for their wedding reception. We are so happy for Abigail and Travis and wish them only the best for their future.

Events at Tlaquepaque are made all the more memorable by the event planning and food the guests enjoy. Whether attending an engagement party or wedding, the beauty of Tlaquepaque’s architecture and grounds is enhanced when the guest’s culinary experience is as artful and delightful as the surroundings. Here are a couple of our exclusive vendors who make that possible.

Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village has provided the perfect setting for south of the border fiestas, festivals, and cultural extravaganzas for the last four decades. Unfortunately, this year we are dealing with the unprecedented COVID pandemic and must pause our highly attended Day of the Dead celebration. There's good news though! Our annual Marigold Mural project is back this year with a NEW SAFE AND EXCITING FORMAT. Join us on Wednesday, November 4 through Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Calle Independencia. This project is unique to Tlaquepaque and an artful way to remember your loved ones. The artist Lovejoy will be in attendance again this year, handing out markers as she guides and answers questions regarding the mural and your contributions. Face masks and sanitizer will also be available for those who need them.

The Micro-Wedding Plan a bite-sized version of a traditional wedding and celebrate with 50 or fewer of your closest friends and family. Usually, a shorter timeline (3 hours instead of 5), these intimate events still include a ceremony and celebration with flowers, cake, music, and more, and can be designed to your liking. Bonuses: More time to spend with each of your guests A more affordable solution or an opportunity to allocate money to the things you care about the most (you no longer have 150 people coming, so you can spend more money on your dress!) Less to plan and manage which can mean less stress For the eco-conscious, a smaller carbon footprint
